# Mobico Group (MCG.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Road & Rail. Price 23p, market value 141 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Mobico Group reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **EV / EBITDA: 22.6×**. Enterprise value is 22.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.6%** (5-yr avg -0.0%). Free cash flow equals 2.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of -0.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 4.6%**. Mobico Group keeps 4.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 2.8%**. 2.8% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -10.7%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 114.8%**. A 114.8% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 20.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 20.5%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: -40.7%**. Each dollar of assets produces -40.7% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -19.8%** (3-yr -0.8%/yr, 5-yr 7.0%/yr). Revenue fell 19.8% over the last year, against 7.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 61.5%**. Earnings per share rose 61.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 20.1×**. It would take 20.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 1.0×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.0×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.70** (quick 0.69). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.88**. A Z-score of 0.88 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Mobico Group does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 2.8% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -24.0%** (YTD 5.4%, 3-mo 13.0%). The shares are down 24.0% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -29.6%** (35.8% above the low). Trading 30% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 50**. An RSI of 50 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.32** (volatility 73%). Beta of 1.32 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much more than the market.
